Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0199381A1] A high-efficiency class-G type amplifier comprises a first transistor (T<sub>1</sub>), whose collector is connected to a first supply voltage (V,) via a first diode (D<sub>1</sub>) and a second transistor (T<sub>2</sub>), which is connected in series with said first transistor and which has its collector connected to a second supply voltage (V<sub>2</sub>). The series arrangement of a second (D<sub>2</sub>), a third (D<sub>3</sub>) and a fourth diode (D<sub>4</sub>) is arranged between the bases of the first and the second transistor (T<sub>1</sub>, T<sub>2</sub>), the fourth diode (D<sub>4</sub>) being poled in a direction opposite to that of the second (D<sub>2</sub>) and the third diode (D<sub>3</sub>). By means of the series arrangement of a first resistor (R,) and the emitter-collector path of a first current-source transistor (T<sub>4</sub>) the second supply voltage (V<sub>2</sub>) is connected to the anode (4) of the fourth diode (D<sub>4</sub>). The junction point (5) between the first resistor (R<sub>1</sub>) and the current-source transistor (T<sub>4</sub>) is connected to the output (2) of the arrangement by means of a capacitor (C<sub>1</sub>). By means of such an arrangement the output (2) can be driven to a voltage substantially equal to the second voltage (V<sub>2</sub>).
